Moksopaya [sanskrit]

This Sanskrit edition of the Moksopaya. It is a large philosophical text dealing with “the science of liberation”. Similar to the Yoga-vasistha in content, the Mokshopaya-shastra was likely its predecessor, said to contain 30,000 shlokas (metrical verses). One of the core philosophies of the texts teaches the non-existence of cognitive objects; while holding such a view leads to an attitude of dispassion towards worldly matters.

Verse 1.11.7

किं नामेदं वत सुखं योऽयं संसारसंसृतिः ।
जायते मृतये लोको म्रियते जननाय च ॥ ७ ॥

kiṃ nāmedaṃ vata sukhaṃ yo'yaṃ saṃsārasaṃsṛtiḥ |
jāyate mṛtaye loko mriyate jananāya ca || 7 ||
